Revenge and Forgiving

How hard is it to get revenge? What are the desires that push someone up to the level of wanting revenge?

How hard is it to forgive? What is need for a person to forgive another?

Revenge comes only when someone fail to forgive but forgiveness doesn't always come after revenge fails...

A revenge that fails may eventually lead to more revenge and never ending revenge of this world.

They invaded their country... Killed their people... so they wanted revenge and blew somethings up in their country... Revenge maybe sweet at the moment but turns out to be bitter especially when revenge, is greeted by revenge. Another invasion which results to unimaginable reactions from the world and also uncountable destruction.

So someone once said, "An eye for an eye makes the world goes blind."

However, an eye for an eye is the way the world likes to go and of course it is the easiest way to go.

Since it is so hard to forgive, everyone should just seek revenge. Revenge is the sweetest thing anyone would find, seriously, revenge makes you feel happy and the feeling of finally being able to get even with that person is fantastic!

Forgiving someone takes courage and the tolerance and endurance... Courage to let go of what happen to you, tolerance to the persons for whatever he did to you... and finally endurance to see the person walk away without proper punishment being brought to him...

I sometimes wonder...

Parents get angry and sad that their sons get killed...

Wives curse the heavens as their husbands are murdered...

Husbands swear for revenge when their wives are taken from them....

Children cry till they run out of breath when their parents die...

So what will the little child think or want to do when the mum tells the child...

"They killed him when you were in my tummy... Everyone fight for justice for your daddy, just as your daddy was fighting for justice for his people... But justice never came..."

How hard it is for the little child to swallow this hatred? How hard it is for the little child to tolerate this injustice? How hard it is for the little child to endure this madness?

An eye for an eye? Or just endure and grow up without the caring of a father? without the love of a father... without the sincere advice of a father... without the guidance of a father... without a father to look up to... to hug and cry when you are sad... How much must the boy endure... Can you tell me?

Why forgive when you can enjoy revenge? Why bare with the pain of forgiveness? Revenge comes easy and sweet... Revenge let's us feel finally even with everything that people has done to us... everything that was unfair... all the innocent people...

Why not just revenge??? and let the world go blind......
